It’s almost as if all these Cable News Libs and Resistance Historians™ who spent a decade cashing in on fascism panic while LARPing as the French resistance are ACTUALLY amoral grifters who believe in nothing but the wind’s direction and the health of their bank accounts!

5. The rest of us are just voters.

They make their money catering to us.

9. They don't think of us as voters, they see us as gullible rubes to be fleeced for profit.

I forget who described corporate media as "billionaires hiring millionaires to tell the working class their problems are caused by poor people."

Well-paid corporate media talking heads' only job is to deflect blame away from systemic problems and the wealthy elite's role in economic inequality.

11. Poor people are always the "low hanging fruit".

We all see people begging for money when were out and about, but never see the multiple homes that the wealthy have, while we ourselves are trying to scrape together a living.

I know the Democratic party is sometimes horrible at messaging, but the gulf between these two scenarios needs to be addressed!

Will they hold him responsible? If yes, ok. If not, skeptics are correct.

14. They're were and are correct. If flattery could have

toned down Hitler, it might've been a good use of bullshit. Trump and Hitler revel in glory and attention. I don't expect this new love affair to last, however. But if it does, it will be because Trump wants to have a half-assed legacy. He wants adoration above all else.

15. They're unprincipled is what they are, and will remain as such.

If these two clowns wanted to help they would examine how we lost twice to a demagogue.

April 29, 1938
To the Congress:

Unhappy events abroad have retaught us two simple truths about the liberty of a democratic people.

The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power.

The second truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if its business system does not provide employment and produce and distribute goods in such a way as to sustain an acceptable standard of living.

Both lessons hit home.

Among us today a concentration of private power without equal in history is growing.

This concentration is seriously impairing the economic effectiveness of private enterprise as a way of providing employment for labor and capital and as a way of assuring a more equitable distribution of income and earnings among the people of the nation as a whole.

THE GROWING CONCENTRATION OF ECONOMIC POWER.

Statistics of the Bureau of Internal Revenue reveal the following amazing figures for 1935:

I withhold judgement for the time being.
